4707

[daugen]

the joys of a buddy seat. My neighbor, a paid fireman, engineer, good with tractors and big equipment, gave him go ahead to give
his son a ride. Neighbor has new 3 series open JD, but wife likes this because son is inside and can't fall off. Well he can but not going far...
Too young for seat, first a friend and then mom used the buddy seat, which is pretty darned hard actually, not very comfortable.
Wondering if I could fit a rubber pad to it.

Daugen or puddie do you guys use a quick hitch for rear implements? My dealer sold me a land pride quick hitch and woods implements. I know it shouldn’t matter the brands but I am having a **** of a time. What do you guys use?

 

[daugen]

My LP Quick Hitch is Cat One and I haven't had much luck with it honestly, plus it can add length to your rig. Which if you just fit in the barn/garage is an issue.
Even QH compatible equipment, big labels right on them, didn't seem to line up easily, always seemed tight. Now with the detachable pin sway bars in the rear, hooking up attachments so far with the 4707 hasn't been hard, but I think it's happiest with equipment listed at least 1/2 as well as 2.

If your lower links telescope plus have lots of room to move sideways, then you really only have to get it within inches and the tractor parts adapt to the
implement, but for sure, you are the one doing the adapting. Otherwise if you are having QH issues, for sure been there, done that, and lots of threads on this site about just that. Mine is gathering spiders leaving on a barn wall.
This is one of those things where someone else's experience could be very different.

finally got up on a ladder to see what's what up top and realized I need to use the gutter attachment on my power washer
to clean out the accumulating crud up there.
C'mon Agco. how about rev. 2 on that heavy steel guard up there with hinges on the rear, just let it swing back out of the way
for cleaning. Real PITA to get it done now. But I love the view.

Thanks for your help daugen! I read a lot of other qh threads on this forum but was wondering specific to our tractors what people thought. I am looking at maybe going with Pats quick hitch instead of the land pride. Seems like it would allow a lot of adjustment and still save some time.

Where did you guys run the wire for the from camera on the loader? Trying to find a good spot and leave enough slack.

 

[joshuadorrell]

Are the weights listed online without the loader? If so, any idea what the loaders weight with a 84” bucket?

 

[CHF4]

I think Dave aka bigpuddie knows the name of this actual loader and who it is made by. I researched it a while ago but can’t remember. I do somewhat remember thinking the weight was around 10,000 or 10,500 with the loader & bucket. I bet someone here knows more exact

Edit- it’s quickie..now for the loader version.

 

[joshuadorrell]

My tractor is 4wd ROPS so the base weight is listed at 7125. I’d think the loaders would be around 1500 or so?? I’m wanting to haul my tractor W/loader, box blade (1400lbs) and grader (1100lbs).
My trailer is a 14k so I realistically I can only haul maybe 11k.

Ah, I forgot you have the rops.. I thought manufacturers were conservative with the haul rate so you’d be ok with 14k lbs?
What is the brand? Are your rear tires loaded? I forgot about that. Not sure how much it adds? Loaders with buckets around 1500lbs to 2000? I’ll be interested to hear what others think.

What are you pulling with?

 

[joshuadorrell]

The tractors tires are not loaded. Maxxd Trailer is the brand...The weight of the trailer isn't included in the 14k so that's why I lose some. Im sure they are conservative but I try to be careful anyway. I pull the trailer daily so I try not to overload it too often. I pull it with a Chevy 2500HD. Most of the time I'm pulling the tractor and the brush hog (1400lbs) and it pulls it just fine.

Really just curious.

disc'd my potato field today after Saturday's harvest. Tractor pulls 8 foot disc like it's not back there.
Dealer said ten foot was right size and 100hp version would pull a 12 to 14 foot version.
90 degree day, sticky, water just running out of a/c duct, nice and comfy inside on speed setting two on fan.

I believe our loader is a Quicke Q3 but someone, please, correct me.

Looks great daugen!

 

[daugen]

thanks. I think I screwed up that Quicke model number. Maybe X3S? X4? Anyone know?

 

[joshuadorrell]

Would anyone be able to tell me their speed and rpms at 540 in 5th low? Trying to compare the taller tires to my shorter tires. Feels like my RPMS are constantly high. Also has anyone done the tuning yet? Im considering it and curious how it would affect my rpms and ground speed. I do a lot on on road travel with the tractor.

 

[daugen]

Joshua, careful on tuning until warranty is out, unless you are a seriously good mechanic.
I salivate over another 30hp, in my case I don't need it, but seems like such a bargain...
I mow in fourth or fifth low, next time I'm out I'll try to remember to look at mph.
By memory 540 is about 1900 rpm on mine. This is not a high speed engine, fine with me.

With my 30” rears (I think I sent you pics), it’s 4.2mph.

Also while I’ve had some issues with the wet weather the past 2 weeks, typically it hasn’t been too bad with the tractor in the pasture with my tires. Still wish I could get same size R4s but life goes on. Guess I just need to keep my other open station Kioti dk40 for those times..

 

[CHF4]

What size Bush Hog do you all have? I have a 6’ and it’s not wide enough. Trying to decide if 7 or 8 would work best.

Right now if I don’t overlap some it doesn’t cut it well and I end up with a strip of grass that gets pushed down by tires but doesn’t get cut well.
Maybe I’m driving too fast but I know it doesn’t do that with my dk40 at a similar speed. I just love/need cab mowing with a kid or two.

Looks awesome! Wish we were neighbors and could share/have more attachments! Ha

this is interesting. Same here with 34's, 1910 rpm, just a few revs under 540 on the pto, 4.1 to 4.2mph
